Winery / Producer: Bodegas Jorge Ordóñez (Prestigious label founded in 2004, globally renowned for rescuing and enhancing the ancient tradition of minimal intervention Málaga wines).

Specific Origin: La Axarquía region, D.O. Sierras de Málaga, Andalusia, Spain (Mountain vineyards with heroic viticulture).

Varietal Composition: 100% Moscatel de Alejandría, harvested from old vines between 50 and 80 years old.

Terroir and Identity: Steep, very desert-like decomposed slate soils. The plots are located at high altitudes, exposed to a radiant Mediterranean sun tempered by fresh Atlantic and Mediterranean currents, ensuring healthy over-ripening and vibrant acidity in the soils.

Winemaking Process: Heroic late manual harvest in small boxes, transported by mules due to the slope. Very gentle pneumatic pressing and natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks. When the wine spontaneously reaches the perfect balance between alcohol and organic residual sugar, fermentation is stopped by lowering the temperature, without added wine alcohol.

Style: High-end natural sweet white; aromatic, dense yet agile, citrusy and mineral.

Alcohol Content: Low and balanced, usually between 10% and 13% Vol. (Allowing the crystalline fruitiness of the grape to stand out).

Capacity: 750 ml slim bottle.

SKU: ESP-ORDONEZ-VICTORIA-1-750

Appearance: Displays a beautiful and brilliant pale golden yellow color with lovely greenish hints and crystalline reflections of great luminosity. Shows a sumptuous and elegant leg formation when swirling the glass.

Nose: Dazzling, seductive, and extremely pure aromatic impact. Opens with intense and clear notes of candied orange peel, orange blossom honey, fresh figs, and baked apple. A second layer reveals perfumed floral nuances of jasmine, alpine white flowers, and a subtle mineral and herbaceous background that evokes slate under the sun.

Palate: Its entry is broad, opulent, and glyceric, caressing the palate with a delicious syrupy texture. However, any hint of heaviness is immediately dissolved by a bright and refreshing citrus acidity that brings verticality to the sip. The finish is balanced, long, and persistent, leaving a clean aftertaste imbued with fresh tropical fruits and flowers.

Precision Gastronomic Pairing: Victoria Nº 1 is a titan at the table thanks to its perfect symbiosis of sugar and acidity. It pairs apotheosically and historically with Foie Gras (mi-cuit or pan-seared) and fine pâtés, where it elegantly cuts through the fat. It is the ideal partner for intense and aged cheeses: powerful blue cheeses (Cabrales, Roquefort, Gorgonzola) or aged sheep's milk cheeses. In the sweet world, it majestically escorts acidic fruit desserts (apple tarts, lemon tarts, tropical fruit mille-feuille), premium vanilla ice cream, or traditional pastries with almonds and pine nuts. In high Mexican cuisine, it creates sublime harmonies with chiles en nogada, complex mole poblanos, and even buñuelos with piloncillo syrup.

What is the optimal serving temperature for Victoria Nº 1 White Wine?

To fully appreciate its fascinating floral and fruity aromatic range without the sweetness overwhelming the palate, it is recommended to serve it well chilled, ideally between 6°C and 8°C. It is suggested to keep the bottle in an ice bucket with water throughout the after-dinner conversation.

Does this sweet white wine contain industrially added alcohol or sugars?

No, not at all. Victoria Nº 1 is classified as a 'natural sweet' wine. This means that both the final alcohol content and the exquisite residual sweetness come 100% from the fermentation of the pure juice of overripe Moscatel grapes on the vine, without resorting to the addition of wine alcohol or external syrups.

What is the aging potential of this Jorge Ordóñez wine in the bottle?

Thanks to its magnificent concentration of natural sugars and its vibrant structural acidity, Victoria Nº 1 has extraordinary aging potential in the bottle. Stored under optimal conditions, it will evolve with complete grace over the next 5 to 8 years, gaining aromatic complexity with notes of dried fruits, apricots, fine hydrocarbons, and dark honeys.

How should the bottle be stored once opened at home?

Due to its stable sweet nature, the bottle keeps impeccably once opened for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. It only needs to be firmly re-corked and stored upright in the refrigerator to slow down any oxidation process of its volatile aromas.
